About

FarmerZone is a platform being developed by India’s Department of Biotechnology under the Ministry of Science and Technology, and is envisioned as an intuitive cloud-service that will collect, collate and curate data from multiple sources to provide key analytics that cater to all needs of the farmer, from dealing with climate change, weather predictions, pest control, soil, water and seed requirements to providing market intelligence. MarketZone, a part of FarmerZone, will connect smallholding farmers' produce to viable markets.

FarmerZone Model

First Sentinel:Potato

FarmerZone is working on getting relevant quality data related to agriculture into the cloud, developing sentinel sites that link with farmers. The FarmerZone consortium has launched the First Sentinel under the DBT Initiative for Potato Farmers in pilot sites across Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The First Sentinel will deliver soil data and other agricultural input data to farmers who have registered in the initial phase. The data will be made available to them at the beginning of sowing season, starting mid-September.
